It’s a sickness I say, and insidious at that. I resist the dark side, but at the same time I like good functional gear. I’m no Swimmy, but not Bill Schaadt either.

Fashion is the only constant in life and Swimmy knows it.

Bill was my fashion consultant, and possibly my life coach candidate....

This guy gets it.

I have recently added a few pieces.

My summer game is also strong. The Oneil Hybrid and Volcom Surf and Turf shorts have lived up to the hype. I have updated the hoodie bank with several new colors. I'm fresh both on and off the water.

I am always in the market for new t-shirts. If any one has a local store or shop that I can support, let me know.

Pro Tips: How to Choose the Right Gear for Wet-Wading, Part I - Orvis News

One of the great joys of summertime fishing is the opportunity to leave the waders at home and actually feel the river or the lake against your legs in a more intimate way. No waders also means easier . . .

Not a mustard stain to be seen. Impressive.

I think we need to have a talk about your footwear.

Ha! I knew my old plaids and checks would come back in fashion!

Talking about footwear when fishing. I had a pair of cheap Wigwam or Kmart shoes that had a ripple soles. These were the best shoes for wet wading that I ever used. For some reason or other the ripple soles did their job of clinging to the slippery rocks. I never fell while wearing them in the summertime. But alas like all things used, they wore out. If I could find more I would probably buy them.

What I want advice on @Swimmy in incorporating PPE into my fashion choices. Something like straight black cloth or do I always try to coordinate with my outfit?

I assume you would look down on simple paper. Kind of like wearing a disposable poncho in a rainstorm?

You people have it all wrong for wet wading. Just a simple dull plaid shirt a pair of cutoff jeans to cover your butt. and Ripple soled cheap assed shoes on your feet with a pair of white cotton socks half way up your legs to protect your ankles from the bushes as you walk through in the woods to your favorite spot.

But you will never see me in that getup. I quit wet wading years ago.
